IMPROVEMENT IN PUiVIPS.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEVI BEEMER, of Libertyville, in the county ofSussex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Pump 5and I do herebyr declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to makeand use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,forming part of this specification, in Which- Figure 1 is a sectionalelevation of my invention, taken in 'the line x or, Fig. 3, Fig. 2, aside view ofthe same; Fig. 3, a horizontal section ofthe same, taken inthe line y y, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspending` parts.

Thisinvention relates to a new andimproved pump in which the suction orlift and the force pump are combined, and by which almost all ot' thewater in a well or reservoir may be drawn. rlhe invention is designedfor what is commonly termed a submerged77 pump, the cylinders beingplaced near the bottom oi' the well or reservoir. 1

A represents a standard or upright shaft, near the lower end of which,at opposite sides, two cylinders,B B,are secured,said cylinders beinglet in7 the upright as shown in Fig. l, and having their heads C Cclasped to the upright by a metal clamp, D, (shown clearly in Figs. land 3.) The upright A may be of wood, and it is tubular and made tocommunicate with the two cylinders B B by means of passages ct a', eachof which, at its lower end, is provided with a valve, b, opening upward,as shown clearly in Fig. 1.

The cylinder Bis provided with a piston, E,

having valves c, opening upward, and the bottom of said cylinder isprovided with a valve, d, also opening upward, as shown clearly in Fig.l. rIhe other cylinder, B, has its piston F provided with a shank, c,the lower end of which is formed like a cross-head, and itted in thelower end of a yoke, G, which encompasses the cylinder B, as shown inFig. 2.

The piston F is tubular, and it has a valve, f, on its upper end,opening upward, the bore of the piston F extending through the lowercross-head of the yoke.

The yoke G and rod H of the piston E are connected to the ends of abrake or lever, I, which passes through the tubular standard A and workson" ak pivot or fulcrum, g.

By this arrangement it will be seen that the pistons F and E will workalternately up and down, the piston E and cylinder B drawing up theWater, and serving as a lift or suction pump, while the cylinder B andpiston F serve as a force-pump to expel the water up through standard Aand out of a spout, J, at the upper part of said standard.

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 'Ihe combinationofthe two pump-cylinders B Bl with the pistons F E and valves and theyoke G, arranged to operate substantially in the manner as and for thepurpose set forth.

LEVI BEEMER.
